About
Jessica Skinner, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Texas. She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, two practical, goal-oriented approaches that help people understand unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and identify realistic next steps. Her work commonly includes concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and she tailors care to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Jessica earned her bachelor’s degree in social welfare from the University of California at Berkeley in 2004 and completed her Master of Social Work at Columbia University in New York City in 2006. She has been a licensed social worker in Texas since 2006 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 2008, bringing years of experience supporting clients through change, stress, and emotional challenges.
She views mental health as closely connected to physical health and emphasizes that seeking support is a meaningful step toward overall well-being. Jessica also hopes to reduce the stigma around mental health treatment, encouraging people to reach out instead of feeling they need to manage difficulties on their own.

Bringing Evidence-Based Tools to Online Therapy
Jessica Skinner often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new coping skills for concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a practical approach that emphasizes strengths, goals, and small, achievable steps. It can be especially helpful when someone wants to move forward through life transitions, relationship challenges, or day-to-day overwhelm. Alongside these methods, a client-centered style supports a respectful pace and a focus on what matters most to the client, helping therapy feel grounded and personally relevant.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the work so sessions stay aligned with what is most useful and motivating over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, school, parenting, and busy schedules. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how and when clients connect with their therapist.
